When we were underage, a house party was the coolest thing to go to, because obviously there was no where else you could get blind drunk. It was cheap, we could pass out wherever the hell we liked and we wouldn’t get denied because our shirt didn’t have a collar.
We all have our limits when it comes to alcoholic drinks. Knowing when to stop drinking is mandatory before you embarrass yourself, harass others, throw up or get yourself into trouble. Sometimes it is best not to cross the line between tipsy to drunk and disorderly. In the interest of safety and respect for the law, it is best to have at least one semi-sober friend too.
It’s tradition in some workplaces to go out for Friday night drinks to celebrate the end of the work week and let off a little steam, but don’t get too comfortable, there is an invisible line you should never cross when it comes to workplace behaviour. Remember you’re going to have to see these people again, so in the spirit of keeping your job (and your dignity), here are a few guidelines to live by when it comes to workplace get-togethers.
We all love a good pre-drinking ritual before we go out drinking. Mates having fun and starting the night early to ensure a solid buzz all night. But is it better to pre-drink at a cheap bar, or pre-drink at home? Let’s weigh up the pros and cons.
Is it just me, but have you ever had a time when you went to a party or a nightclub with your friend and their friends, and for a while they’re really friendly and chatty and you have a good time with them, but then once you’ve all left the club and start going your separate ways, they’re suddenly much less friendly?
Once only acceptable for toddlers and ‘adult babies’, the onesie has become an essential part of the wardrobe for anyone who is fun. Once only patterned or plain, onesies now come as animal costumes and can be worn by anyone. But is it acceptable to wear a onesie out clubbing or to a bar?
So you wanna know how to be the baddest bitch in the club and conquer every guy and get really smashed off the drinks they buy you? Okay, so does every other single girl. Welcome to the club, we’re huge, we’re international. I know your game. Go to the club, dress all cute/slutty and strut around while you eye flirt with all these guys.
I’m always watching YouTube comedian Alex Williamson’s videos, he’s bloody hilarious! If you haven’t seen his videos before, my heart goes out to you, really. You’ve missed out on a comedic genius talking about his messed up views on wanking over photos of girls on Facebook and his quest to make the C word socially acceptable.
Ultimately if you want to save money on a night out in Sydney, and enjoy the week that follows, you need to plan ahead, plain and simple. Do not leave your drunken self to its own devices, it will screw you over. Not only will you end up vomiting on a sidewalk, shoes in hand, while waiting for a taxi - you will be poor.
Clubs aren’t always an intimate affair, but with so many small bars around these days, it is easy to get cosy with the bar tenders. I am talking about sitting at the bar. There tends to be less leg room, elbow grazing bench tops, un-backed stool type chairs and the risk of an occasional drink spillage as people push passed you for service. But there are benefits to sitting at the bar.
